Drugdad :

Hi, let me help you with this

Drugdad :

When did you take the caffeine?

Drugdad :

The whole caffeine should be out of your system in about 28 hours so if you are still having side effects after 2 days I would recommend that you see your doctor

Drugdad :

If you have additional question, please ask before accepting or rating my answer. Remember the "expected more" and "helped a little" are negative feedback. I would be more than happy to earn your great service rating.

Customer :

I went to the doctor. He said there was nothing to worry about. But, I told him about another supplement. CDP-choline. Should I just stop taking that?

Drugdad :

Why are taking it?

Customer :

I was for focus.

Drugdad :

Yes, you are better of not taking it

Customer :

ok

Customer :

but with that, there is also nothing to worry about, long-term

Customer :

right?

Drugdad :

Which one?

Customer :

cdp choline

Drugdad :

Not enough data to really advice taking it long term

Customer :

ok

Customer :

but i mean...

Customer :

i have stopped taking it a while ago

Customer :

maybe a few days ago

Customer :

i should be ok right? i feel alright. you do not suspect any potential problem from it

Customer :

do you?

Drugdad :

You should be ok

Customer :

i feel fine

Customer :

is it correct to think that as long as you feel ok, then you are ok...

Drugdad :

Health wise, the answer is no

Customer :

ok

Customer :

i assume i am referring to using drugs/supplements

Customer :

after taking a prescription drug or supplement

Customer :

if you feel fine after using them

Drugdad :

Unless something comes up, as long as nothing is wrong right now you should be fine

Customer :

should i be worried about something coming up? i stopped these a while ago.

Customer :

i noticed nothing bad except for some increased heart rate and sweating from the caffeine

Drugdad :

no

Customer :

alright, thank you

Drugdad :

you are welcome

Drugdad :

I hope I have earned your positive rating today

Expert:  Drugdad replied353 days and 22 hours ago.

To be sure that the side effects you experienced is not going to be permanent, you need to see your doctor for that. Caffeine has a half life of about 7 hours most so after about 28 hours the drug should have been out of your system. If you are still feeling the side effects since then, you need to call your doctor.

Customer replied353 days and 22 hours ago.

I am not feeling the side effects. I experienced them for maybe 4 or 5 hours after I had taken it.

Picture
Expert:  Drugdad replied353 days and 22 hours ago.

Ok

Customer replied353 days and 22 hours ago.

Ok, so I'm fine right?

Expert:  Drugdad replied353 days and 22 hours ago.

You should be fine but just to be on the safe side, you need to be checked out by your doctor
